Tee time is 9:00 am. Our scheduled game is "Alpha Omega". We will play regular stroke play golf, but when deciding the winners we will take the scores from the first four holes and the last five holes and use 1/2 of the handicap.

Okay, onto another JDWGA item.... Shirley Lee, our Secretary/Treasurer, is having to resign for personal reasons and we need someone to fill her shoes! Could you?

Hope to see you tomorrow!

This sounds like lots of fun and a great way to encourage new golfers. The green fees will be only $10 for guests and a "bring your own meat" barbecue will follow. Please mark your calendars and plan on participating!

If you haven't already, sign up for the visitation next Wednesday! See you then!

Opening Day Rained Out?

2009-05-06T07:24:00.000-07:00

Today is supposed to be our first day golf with the Women's Golf Association! It's not looking too good from my perspective ~ 70% chance of showers :( I think I will pass. If anyone does play, let me know how it goes and I will post it.

2009-04-07T08:38:00.000-07:00

Hi Golf Gals! Gosh it was lovely on the course yesterday! I took this photo from the 18th tee.
***
I recently downloaded an e-book called "Ultimate Fitness Guide". Do you like the idea of offering a little stretch session in the morning on our Wednesday play day? I know personally my golf game is always better if I warm up. It is so much easier if someone else is encouraging you.

Thanksgiving Potluck and a Hello

2008-11-17T12:51:00.000-08:00

We had a nice turnout for the potluck yesterday at the club... seems like we had more food than bodies to eat it. The nicest part was the warm sunshine prior to eating. There were lots of golfers on the course! Oh, and a half-price drink happy hour. The photo at the top of the blog was taken yesterday coming up the 6th fairway.

It is really easy to contribute to this blog, and I am hoping we will all add our part to stay informed about fund-raisers, tourneys, weekly golf winners, etc!
